Wedding Registry for the Non-Traditional Bride

The most fun part of wedding planning for me has been registering for our gifts (wedding registries are basically Christmas lists on steroids). I’ll admit it was intimidating going into the process. You first have to create a website, then create registry accounts to a million different places, THEN the act of picking out things you actually like is a laborious (albeit intoxicatingly fun) task.

I knew that I didn’t simply want to stop at the Targets and Bed, Bath and Beyonds of the world. These stores have their place at the table, for sure. Everyone needs a pistachio hued Kitchen Aide mixer. I had lusted over handcrafted ceramics and locally sourced knick knacks from indie stores around the web for years, and very much wanted to find a way to incorporate these goods into my registry.

Enter: Myregistry.com. This site is awesome because it let’s you register from any online retailer; you simply need to add the bookmark button to your broswer, and hit it anytime you see an item from an online store to automatically add it to your registry. Here are just a few of the unique items I have added from some of my favorite shops!
